All right, then. That answers that. If the 30's fabrics make you
happy, go for it. I'll never ever again attempt a quilt with
fabrics/colors that aren't a joy for me to spend time with.
Now. As to the charm squares being enough? I'm thinking you might be
working yourself into a corner. That might work and it might make the
whole process just too tedious to bear. Methinks you'd better begin with
8ths. Polly

Hokay! Thanks for that! It's pus, isn't it, working with colours that
just lose their appeal? I've been collecting fabrix from a line called
'Under the Australian Sun' and they're really, really gorgeous. So much
so that I'm disciplining myself to complete all UFOs before I'm allowed
to even think about cutting them. They're Oz florals in our native
colours of drab olive, cream, burnt orange(-ish) and brown. I studied
Botany many years ago and I've always wanted to do a quilt or something
to commemorate that. These fabrix are just the ticket!

If you'd like to see them, they're a Robert Kaufman line and they show
up on Google... ;-D
